Reverse: Durango → Moab

Moving from Moab to Durango is a regional long-distance move of roughly 151 road miles, heading southeast from Utah to Colorado.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $2,230 to $3,320 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 18 min.

On the Moab side there are 1 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 of them authorized for interstate work), and 21 around Durango (10 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Durango.

Moab has a population of about 5,000 and Durango about 20,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,118 and 1,293 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Moab to Durango?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,290 to $1,920 for a studio, $1,340 to $1,990 for a one-bedroom, $2,230 to $3,320 for a two-bedroom, $3,570 to $5,310 for a three-bedroom and $4,900 to $7,300 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Durango from Moab?

About 151 road miles (128 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 18 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Utah into Colorado makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Moab to Durango?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $300 to $430 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,150 to $1,700. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Moab–Durango corridor.
